On the gcc version, we do have a fairly clear policy, but it's true we don't have such a policy on the C library. We try to reasonably support older toolchains as we recognize people may be using somewhat old toolchains to support specific HW, or just because they "fear" switching to a newer toolchain. So in the case of squashfs, when there is a relatively easy fallback solution, it's always good to have (and good for upstream, as it makes their project more broadly "compatible"). I don't know if we want a policy that says "toolchains with components older than X years are not supported. Can be a topic for the upcoming Buildroot Developers Meeting though.
